ABSTRACT: The Environmental Realities of Petroleum Exploration

The American explorationist has succeeded in finding enough petroleum to create and sustain the most vibrant economy the world has ever seen.

2. Are we all that bad?

3. What effect is environmental activism having on the industry?

4. What can geologists do to change things?
